Sheppard kind of glared at him, and said no.
Then Rodney said, PLEEEEEEEEASE?
And then Sheppard smiled flirtatiously and said, well, maybe.
The end.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

Do you think the writers know what they're doing? Or is the same cluelessness about how to write women's roles also manifesting as them being completely oblivious to the Mckay/Sheppard subtext? I wouldn't have thought it possible to achieve near-Angel levels of UST without the writers intentionally aiming for it, but all the interviews seem to concentrate on "Duet" and the faux slash between Beckett and Cadman in Mckay's body.

If I only had a brain...
McKay and Shepherd SO bicker like a couple.

Aw, you missed the bit where Sheppard's glare shattered Rodney's little heart into a bazillion tiny pieces, and he sort of crumpled right there, realising in that moment that losing Sheppard's manlove respect and esteem was actually worse than the shame of not having solved the Ancients' puzzle. And how Sheppard's "Well, maybe," was still pissy.

I share your puzzlement at the possibility that they could possibly be oblivious to the slash.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I'd be very interested to know which of the people involved in the production are oblivious. And, of those who are not, who are trying to hinder the slash, who are promoting it, and who are doing their jobs indifferently to it.
Mostly because I can be, like, 6 kinds of geek at once.

Clearly whoever's promoting it is winning.

I dreamt last night that I was arguing vociferously against people who thought Aeryn Sun was a "vapid side character" in the series "Crichton" (although I did admit that her role was less central in "Crichton" than it had been in Farscape). I actually went back twice to debate this with them, particularly as they thought Adam Sandler did more serious, deep characters. Eventually, I just told them that if they thought Aeryn was vapid, they might want to stop watching before Gigi came on. And then I went to take a shower, and Zhaan appeared and I apologized to her in advance for how very rude everyone was. And then my dream turned into a sort of survey of wedding reception sites of the rich and famous.

Well, yes, Matt. I mean: Holy gay marriage in the Pegasus Galaxy, Batman!

I'm just imagining a fooseball tournament in the writer's bullpen with the winner crowing "Yes! That's 4 out of seven, Butterfingers! In episode 2.18 we'll open on Sheppard buttoning up his jumper as he leaves McKay's room!"

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh, I'm writing "people involved in the production" larger than just the writers.
That's a really funny image, though. And it would totally be foosball.
